What are the main factors affecting hose durability?

The durability of hoses is affected by a combination of factors. Material quality is one of the key factors. The base materials of hoses, such as PVC, rubber or polyethylene, and additives such as antioxidants and UV inhibitors directly determine their weather resistance, anti-aging ability and safety. Secondly, design and manufacturing processes play a vital role in the performance and service life of hoses.  structural design, such as appropriate wall thickness, fabric reinforcement layer, etc., can enhance the pressure resistance and wear resistance of hoses. Advanced production processes and equipment ensure the uniformity and consistency of hoses and reduce the problems that may be caused by manufacturing defects.

Environmental conditions are another important factor. Hoses behave differently at different temperatures, especially in high or low temperature environments, where materials may change or harden. In addition, chemicals and detergents that hoses come into contact with may corrode or react chemically to the materials, affecting their durability and safety.

Use conditions are also one of the important factors affecting the durability of hoses. Hoses are subjected to different stresses under different pressure and flow conditions, and frequent bending, twisting and stretching operations will gradually reduce the elasticity and durability of the hose.

Maintenance and care are equally important. Regular cleaning can avoid the accumulation of dirt and bacteria and extend the service life of the hose. In addition, proper storage conditions can prevent hoses from aging and hardening after long periods of storage. Finally, external damage such as scratches and punctures may cause hose breakage and leakage, affecting its service life and safety.
